TO 'ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: l

Be it known that I,--WILLIAM M. JONES, of Horieon, in the county of Dodge, and'iri the State of Wisconsin, have inventedcertain new and useful Improvements in IIorse-ShoeCalk Sharpeners; and do hereby declare' that the following is a full, elear,'and exact describtion thereof', reference being had to the accompanying draw; ings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

In the annexed drawings, making'part of this specieation, A and B represent two pieces of steelywhch have their two ends sharpened, to be received into the handles C.- The edges of these pieces are bevelled o in V-shape, and these bevelled edges have files formedv upon them. When the two pieces .A and B are placed together side to side, their bevellcd edges form a v -shaped le-groove between them. These pieces arehardened as files usually are.

The great advantage ofthe mstrnment is that it will sharpen the calks while the shoe is on the horse, thus doingaway with the expense of removing tho shoe, and preventing damage to the hoof hyconstant priok'ing' of 'hat I claim, is-l The within-described V-shaped le, constructed and used substantially as and for the purpose specied. In testimony that I claim the foregoing, -I have-hereunto set my hand, this rst day of February, 1867.
